Stirge

Stirge
Stirge, U Tiny Vermin (Mindless)
Level 2 (+2)
"I don’t care how nice it is outside! We are not cooking outdoors at this time of year with those...things hovering around our hut!"
——Landrin, Peasant
This accident of nature appears to be a giant mosquito, but with the skin of a bat overlapping its frame. Brown to red in color, a typical Stirge is about a foot in length and weighs between 1 to 2 lbs. They survive by latching on to a victim with their long, pointy proboscis and draining the blood from their bodies. Consequently, this has led many adventures to revile the creatures for their seemingly sinister nature.

Melee Reach 5ft • One Creature
The Stirge plants its Proboscis under the skin of a target, attempting to latch on to the body. On a hit, make an Opposed Grapple Check (+8 vs Grapple). If the Strige succeeds, it deals damage, grabs the target and begins to draw blood. An attached Stirge cannot prevent the actions of the creature it is attached to, unless the creature is Tiny size or smaller.
